Nianyang tried desperately to hypnotize herself, maybe it’s just that she’s been too busy lately and hasn’t spent enough time with Li Tingyan.

Women always tend to overthink, she only acts impulsively because she misses him so much.

Maybe, once she sees him, all those unfounded suspicions will disappear.

Yes!

She must go find him!

Only by seeing him in person can she calm the inexplicable panic in her heart.

Returning first to the Li Family, Nianyang began to pack her luggage. She had clothes at both the Li Family and the Chu Family homes. She randomly grabbed a few clothes from the wardrobe, stuffed them into her bag, and then symbolically packed a few more pieces into her backpack before heading out to inform the Li Family she was heading to Jiangcheng to see Li Tingyan.

A daughter-in-law going to see her son, Shang Wan, the son’s mother, of course wholeheartedly agreed. Recently, they have been so busy making medicinal soaps that they almost forgot that Nianyang and Li Tingyan hadn’t been in touch for half a month.

This couldn’t be, a married couple being apart for too long could lead to trouble. Hearing Nianyang was going to Jiangcheng eased their minds instantly; if such a good daughter-in-law were to leave, the Li Family would be at a loss.

After informing the Li Family, Nianyang went to tell the Chu Family.

Chu Zhan was still away on a business trip, and Chu Tianming was at work, so only her mother and grandfather were at home.

Hearing that Nianyang was going to Jiangcheng, both of them were taken aback.

Yunrou felt uneasy. Her daughter hadn’t even married Li Tingyan yet, and she was already so outwardly focused on him, filled with thoughts of him; it was indeed jealousy-inducing.

Yunrou knew very well that in her daughter’s heart, as a mother, she didn’t hold as much weight as Li Tingyan. But she accepted it, after all, Nianyang didn’t grow up by her side, so the bond wasn’t deep.

If Nianyang could acknowledge her, that would be enough. She didn’t dare to ask for more.

So, she said nothing and happily agreed.

However, the old man Chu’s expression changed several times. Usually, he was a grandfather who indulged his granddaughter, but for the first time, he voiced his disapproval, "Nannan, there’s no need to rush to see him. Tingyan will be back soon. Instead of going to him, why not travel with your grandfather for a while? Once you’re married, there won’t be many chances for us to be alone."

Nianyang laughed and said, "Grandpa, what are you saying? It’s as if I’m an ingrate. Even if I’m married, you’re still my grandpa, and I’m still your granddaughter. We’ll have plenty of chances to be together in the future."

The old man Chu snorted, "You say so much, but you just don’t want to travel with Grandpa. You’re only thinking of Li Tingyan!"

Nianyang spread her hands, "Oh come on, Grandpa, I also want to travel with you, but did you forget what I told you before?

Your health has only recently improved and still needs careful conditioning for six months.

You’ll only be able to return to your lively self once all aspects of your health are fully restored.

It’s not even halfway to six months yet, so you can’t slack off now!"

The old man Chu’s eyes flickered, almost forgetting this point. Now, what to do? How could he stop Nannan from going to Jiangcheng?

Nianyang, being observant, quickly noticed the guilt in the old man’s eyes, and her unease grew. Why did it feel like Grandpa was hiding something from her? 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

The old man Chu said, "Anyway, it’s just half a month. How about you stay home and keep Grandpa company? Wouldn’t that be good?"

Now, not only did Nianyang feel something was off, but even Yunrou found it strange. Why did the old man seem so odd?
